Global gene expression differentiating pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma features.
OBJECTIVES Pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is considered the early stage of lung adenocarcinoma, and is even regarded as lung adenocarcinoma in situ. This study was designed to investigate the differences in the gene expression of pure BAC and that of adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar features and explore the mechanism of BAC progression to adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar fe...
متن کاملTelomerase activation in adenocarcinoma-bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.
A t present, human bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is a disease with an evolving definition. The clinical concept of BAC needs to be re-evaluated with careful attention to the 2004 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria [1] due to major clinical implications. Series published in the literature before 2000, i.e. before the WHO definition of BAC, had not discerned a specific survival advanta...
متن کاملDiagnosis and differentiation of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar components with metabolic and anatomic characteristics using PET/CT.
UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG PET has been reported to have reduced sensitivity in detecting bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) versus lung cancers with other histologies. However, there are CT characteristics that are suggestive of BAC, and potentially these could be useful to refine diagnostic criteria so PET/CT can be more accurate in the diagnosis of BAC. We correlated tumor size and density obtaine...
متن کاملRefractory hypoxemic respiratory failure due to adenocarcinoma of the lung with predominant bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component.
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a subtype of lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by well-differentiated cytology, peripheral location, and characteristic growth of neoplastic cells along intact alveolar septa (ie, lepidic growth pattern). Pure bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, by definition, doesn’t invade stroma, pleura, or lymphatic spaces. If there is lymphatic invasion, the tumor is classified a...
متن کاملPneumonic‐type mucinous lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed by transbronchial cryobiopsy
Primary lung adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth can mimic diffuse pulmonary parenchymal processes like infectious pneumonia or idiopathic inflammatory pneumonitis. We report a case of subacute pneumonitis refractory to antibiotic therapy and empirical corticosteroids, proven to be diffuse mucinous adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth on transbronchial cryobiopsy.
